The waiter is just a child after all, so how could he understand all the twists and turns involved?
When I heard that I could learn martial arts from him, I nodded immediately.
Su Jingshuo was so happy that he wanted to take his child to a family reunion party right away.
Fortunately, he knew that even though something had happened, it had to be done with justification.
Since the couple is out, then he should be able to find the child's grandparents, right?
Su Jingshuo was very proactive. Whenever he wanted to do something, he would arrange it immediately. Not only did he have people prepare enough gifts, he also notified everyone who could be notified.
Although everyone was surprised by his actions, even though he had abdicated, he was still the emperor, so no one dared to refuse.
So, by the time Xiao Lingdang and the others received the news, the family reunion banquet had already ended.
Faced with this news, Xiao Lingling was extremely shocked.
"No, what does this Fifth Brother mean? Why did he acknowledge him as his godson?"
Chu Yu understood his thoughts to some extent, and out of sympathy, he had no objection.
"It's okay, don't worry. Just accept it. It's not bad to have a godfather like this. At least he won't harm Xiao Er."
Little Bell shook her head. "I'm not worried about that. I'm just a little surprised. And if you want to admit it, just admit it. Why can't we wait until we get back?"
Chu Yu curled her lips slightly, "Maybe she's afraid you won't agree?"
Little Bell sighed silently and didn't say anything else.
However, after this incident, she couldn't continue playing anymore, so her originally planned month-long trip was hastily interrupted...
————————
People often say that they are conscious when they are about to die.
Maybe, this is true.
Time flies. Even with Xiao Lingling's help in taking care of her body, Zhao, who is already 72 years old, still looks much older.
Not only that, perhaps seeing her grandchildren living happily and having their own families, she felt relieved and her whole state became listless.
For a long time, she couldn't eat much and would vomit if she ate too much.
Even with the help of Xiao Lingdang and the water from the spirit pond, it was of no use.
Little Bell knew very well that grandma was missing grandpa.
She is just an ordinary person now. Even if she has magical powers, she is far from being able to bring people back to life.
So, she could only watch her grandmother grow weaker and weaker.
It was early autumn that day. Without the scorching heat of summer, it was now a time of clear and cool weather.
Zhao felt very energetic this morning for the first time in her life.
What's more, she actually got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen with great enthusiasm.
When Xiao Lingling went to deliver medicine to her, she didn't see anyone and was frightened.
However, a servant saw Zhao's whereabouts and quickly reported it to Xiao Lingdang.
"Princess, it seems the old lady has gone to the kitchen."
Xiao Lingling was stunned for a moment, "Kitchen? When did you go there?"
"It seems like it's been a while. When I went to the backyard to water the flowers, I saw it in the direction of the kitchen."
Xiao Lingling put down what she was holding and hurried towards the kitchen.
Before she got close, she smelled a familiar fragrance.
It tastes like the scallion pancakes my grandma made...
She approached quietly and could see Zhao's hard-working back through the window.
Seeing the obviously hunched figure and gray hair, Xiao Lingling's eyes became hot and tears began to fall.
She knew very well what it meant when a seriously ill person suddenly became full of energy.
It is precisely because I know this clearly that I feel extremely sad, as if someone is clutching my heart tightly.
She wiped away her tears and quietly approached, taking the spatula from her hand, "Grandma, it has to be the pancakes you made. They are so delicious that I can't help but want to eat them secretly."
When Zhao saw her, she smiled brightly, "I knew you must be craving for it. Here, it's already prepared. Come and try it."
Little Lingling came over with a look of surprise, not caring that it was still hot from the pan, and grabbed a pancake and tore off a big piece.
When I put it in my mouth, it still tastes familiar!
"Wow, smells good! This is so delicious! I must eat two more bowls of rice today!"
Zhao looked at her kindly, "Okay, okay, as long as you like it. Grandma made a lot today. Now that the weather is not so hot, it will be enough for several days."
Xiao Lingling couldn't help feeling sad. Afraid that she would see her tears, she immediately approached her like a spoiled child and hugged her in her arms.
"Oh, grandma loves me the most. My mom always complains that I eat too much."
Zhao patted her hands and said, "Your mother is worried that you won't be able to digest what you've eaten! Don't blame her."
"Hey, grandma, I'm just saying, my mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, how could I not know that?"
"Yes, yes, our little Lingling is the most considerate. Grandma is relieved that you are happy now.
You have Chu Yu, the child you cherish, and three other adorable children. You will have many good days ahead of you."
Little Lingling listened to her words that sounded like her last will, and her hands were shaking with heartache.
"However, Xiao Lingling, even though you are a mother, you must not forget to take care of yourself, okay?
You have been a very imaginative child since you were young. You want to go out and play all day long. When you grow up, you will spend most of the year running around outside.
Grandma knows that you must have your own mission. Over the years, you have delayed a lot of time for the sake of the children and me.
Now that the children have grown up and can go to private school, grandma doesn't need you to take care of her anymore, and you can do what you want.
Do you understand?
Xiao Lingling's eyes turned red when she heard this. She had never told anyone about her intention to accumulate merit.
But it was obvious that Zhao had already guessed it.
She had only one leg left a few years ago, but for the sake of her family, she hardly went out in recent years, and her progress also stagnated.
She had originally planned to wait a few years until the children were older before going, but now Zhao had seen through her plan.
She choked and murmured, "Grandma..."
Zhao didn't even look back. She just raised her hand and gently touched her little face. "Good girl, don't be sad. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have survived long ago."
Now that I can see with my own eyes that each of you is living such a happy life, I feel really satisfied.
When I see your grandfather in the future, I can show off to him.
I really don't have any regrets in my life.
Now grandma just hopes that you can pick up your mission and become that carefree little girl again. Grandma wants to see it."
Little Bell nodded vigorously, "Yes, Grandma, I promise you. I will. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Silly child, what's so hard about me? Stop crying, let's go and get everyone dinner.
We are all so happy today!"
